As Mother’s Day is coming, we would like to share our traditional Italian Spezzatino recipe with you!

It is not difficult, but rather time-consuming and if you plan to do this a day ahead, you can still watch your favourite TV show while you are making that surprise for your mum!

SPEZZATINO in Italy is similar to what you would know as a stew.

Spezzatino is cooked over good 3h to create tender meat and natural thick gravy sauce. However, you can find a wide variety of combinations.

It can be cooked on the stove or the oven in a casserole dish, an earthenware pot or just a heavy bottom pan. Also, beef can be replaced with topside veal. And instead of peas, you can add different vegetables – mushrooms or roasted peppers cut in strips are very popular.

A long time ago a veal Spezzatino would be served at Italian weddings between the pasta dish and the main course, but it is not in practice any longer.
